Large elevation and windage knobs for easy use

Attractive but functional matt black finish

Bullet shift 1.5mm per click at 50 metres

595 Gehmann lockable earsight unit

All rearsights suffer from backlash on their threads, over time and with use the threads develop wear. This allows for positional movement in the moving surfaces carrying the iris thread hole, which can also give rise to positional movement which directly affects accuracy of each shot - this problem is made worse by further microscopic movements in the thread induced by the action of the rifle, which subsequently increases this effect, producing erratic and unwanted scores

Our patent introduced the unique feature of making a sight lockable, so that once set in position it stays that way. This remains the case throughout the full range of elevation and windage adjustments

Now using larger stainless rods between the moving surfaces and 25% larger base rail clamps for grip - the sight is even better

Once elevation and windage are adjusted the lever is rotated until the sight body is locked maintaining your settings permanently in place

Precision machined from solid aluminium and not using casting

Attractively anodised for prolonged weather protection

Front and rear threading allows the use of an iris on the eye side and an anti-glare tube on the front side

Micro-precision adjustment gives 1.5mm bullet shift per click at 50m

Individually serial numbered
